Biosystems Engineering
Biosystems Engineering involves innovative systems to sustainably feed an increasing population through cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and the drive to make a difference in the world. The Arizona Experiment Station builds sustainable solutions that create resilience among society, the environment and the economy. From microorganisms to complete ecosystems and from lab-on-a-chip biosensors to algae-based biofuels, Biosystesm engineering students and faculty are leading the charge to a sustainable future, including:
- Optimizing growth conditions in controlled environment agriculture
- Finding alternative fuel and feed sources
- Irrigating crops sustainably
- Analyzing big data sets generated from using sensors and controls and looking at metagenomics
